The Department of Specialized Licensing and Market Control led the sessions, which focused on demonstrating how these digital tools can simplify procedures and accelerate transactions.\n\nAttendees were given hands-on advice on the process of electronically filing and monitoring applications, along with the necessary prerequisites and steps involved.
